Dear Friends!

My encouragement for you today is to take a minute to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. Meet a new person from a different culture, ethnic group, religious group, etc. Make an attempt at that project that you’ve been dreaming of doing for years. Challenge your everyday routine and understanding of your world.

You may be surprised at what you will find. You may discover that you’ve had the ability to do whatever you’ve wanted to do all along. You may discover that people are intrinsically the same all over the world. That your neighbour of a different culture or native tongue has similar hopes and dreams for their family, for their lives. You may gain a new friend and community along the way. You may find that even though someone has a different perspective on life, they are still worthy of Love and understanding. You may learn to love without judgement.

You may discover beauty.
